Bordering BLM - 40 Acres of Rugged Colorado Wilderness. No HOA - No Covenants - Off-Grid Freedom. This is the Colorado property everyone dreams about but rarely finds.

The land features towering ponderosa pines, dramatic rock outcroppings, and a mix of open, usable ground and rugged wilderness-perfect for both adventure and privacy. Multiple building sites offer flexibility: choose an east-facing perch for sunrise mornings or a west-facing site to soak up fiery sunsets. With no HOA, no covenants, and only Fremont County zoning, you're free to create what you want here-whether that's a weekend getaway, a full-time off-grid home, or a wilderness basecamp. Step right from your property into BLM land for hiking, hunting, or backcountry exploration. Beyond your doorstep, the greater Arkansas River Valley of Southern Colorado offers gold medal fishing, whitewater rafting, ATV & OHV trails, and endless hiking. Charming nearby towns-Salida, Westcliffe, and Canon City-add arts, dining, and everyday amenities. Hot springs, world-class climbing, and dark sky stargazing round out the lifestyle. If you're seeking land that combines raw wilderness, rare access, and total freedom, this is it. Bring your boots and your vision-40-acre BLM-bordering parcels like this do not come along often.
